My Shop is all ready for SPRING!!!
Today I went to my shop in Greece NY. The Shops on West Ridge 3200 West Ridge Rd. and Spring-DIFIED it!!! I am looking forward to the warmth of the future months and even tho I have been sooooo busy creating during these looooong winter months it some how didn’t feel like work at all! I am stocked up with tons of paintings, prints, greeting cards, table linens, hand painted pottery and pillow covers! I also have a wonderful variety of Cordell’s work in the shop as well! With Easter and Mothers Day around the corner there is something here for all your special people!!! Hours are Thursdays- Sundays 10am.-6pm. Happy Spring Everyone!!!
Table Runners are finally HERE!
It has been so fulfilling to follow my dream creating new functional accents for the home! Most recently I have come up with six different table runners for another crowd pleaser…I mean who doesn’t love a good table runner? I had so many requests for them and after creating my first batch of the rectangle table clothes I quickly was made aware that woman LOVE to dress up their kitchen and dinning tables! It’s no wonder the kitchen is the heart of the home and my heart was poured into every brush stroke and color choice that made up these textiles! Each table cloth and runner has been machine printed making them super durable (not hand painted) made from waterproof high quality polyester fabric and is machine washable and dryable, steam iron on backside. these new creations make the perfect final touch to any table setting! Casual, charming, elegant and cheerful there is a design for everyone! Stay tuned for round table clothes coming soon! Click here to shop table runners!

I recently visited the Shops on West Ridge as I have several times before, but on this visit a new and fresh idea popped in my mind! Perhaps it would be a fun adventure to rent a spot to sell all things Rachel! I quickly asked for some info and the next day found myself shaking hands with the owner to start as soon as May 2018! I am excited to see if this is a good fit for me. So I hope you'll come see my space and tell your friends too! Here is a little about it, The Shops on West Ridge is a fun and unique shopping destination for any and all hunts for treasures from vintage white milk glass to wood farm tables or that nostalgic something from a special time in your past!

You can find my space on the first floor make a right when you walk in front doors and I am #304.

The Long Winter months...
HI Everyone! I trust you are having a beautiful winter! This winter has seemed a little more nostalgic and bright to me! The Sunny days mixed with confectionary sugar snowfalls is the stuff Hallmark movies are made of. I know that sooner or later I'll trade in my cheerful outlook and duck boots with a plea for the smell of Australian Gold sun tan oil and 80 degree weather. No worries tho! I got ya covered...Throughout the long winter my website will have a large amount of original artwork for sale here along with lots of other goodies such as my pillow covers, prints and collaborations between Cordell Cordaro and I. Stay well and have a very Happy New Year!
See you soon this summer!
Sincerely, Rachel xo
My dreams came true!!!
There's a saying you eat with your eyes first! Well I happen to think you sleep with your eyes first! That's why I wanted to create a line of euro style bed shams/throws that married colors and textures that made me wanna hibernate! I am a floral paintress and it is my passion to bring to you a custom mix of dreamy flowers with rich colors. My new shams are the perfect addition to your bedroom and living room! These new 26"x26" pillow covers are much larger than the previous ones I have available. A cotton polyester blend is the perfect texture to introduce these shams to complement stone washed linen bedding as seen is my photos! It has been so fulfilling to see this dream come true. My vision soon became reality with the diligence and passion fueled by a supportive husband, family and friends! I can't wait to continue pursuing more home accent possibilities in the future!
A very Special thanks goes out to My husband Cordell without you I couldn't have done this. You were my sanity and my bridge! Thanks for listening to me mull over ideas and weigh options to myself aloud in hopes you heard in detail all I was saying, even the words I was thinking and expecting a swift respond like all woman do...
Mom for being my biggest fan and jumping up and down with me when I showed you the finished product!
Faith for having Faith!
My friends for celebrating with me throughout the process and making it feel super special!
Gigi thank you for the Starbucks, admiration and love you have given me!
Kate Foster for making the final part of this operation magical and capturing my vision with your trusty Canon!
Fun Instagram Collaboration!
A few weeks back as I sat with a cup of coffee the mood to create a new business opportunity struck! I was scrolling through instagram and a beautifully curated home interior page caught my eye! I immediately felt the need to reach out to her and ask if she would be open to a collaboration! To my surprise Angela of AngelasCozyHome wrote me wright back eagerly willing to accept my offer! Here are a handful of images taken by Angela of her daughters beautiful new room that has my Iris painting in them! The best part is I made a new friend and her favorite flower is the Iris a special flower she holds dear to her heart!
